@KingKael00 .. yes, sorry, it was fun for me when a i wrote that… it’s great to have this material on internet this days : )
Does anybody agree.. I would happily watch this animation all day but i would **** to have to watch all this new computer generated animation crap that is on the childrens television.. I used to love the old cartoons – Dexters labarotory, Power puff girls and etc. but these new ones just look bad.. Johnny test? What the Hell is this crap. Looney toons was the stuff, they were real cartoon characters – could never kill bugs or wiley – i would happily kill off these new abominations. Im 13 BTW!
@inkosurf it was ones of the first ever animation on celluloid. Its a great mark in the history of animation.
It was the first animated film on celluloid but not the first animation to be projected on screen.
The first ones were made around 1892-1893 in France and Germany and featured color drawings on a semi-transparent paper fitted into a projector similar to a celluloid one and projected in 5-10 frames per second.
At 1:43, a scene is omitted from this historical classic. Would the poster care to share what it was for posterity’s sake?
haha
yeah man definitely a giant leap or man.
Kinda makes you think of when you were a kid…
Kidding. If you could remember this you would be dead.
Great video, a great mark in history
i can only imagine how people back then laughed their ***** off while watching this
Great video (:
You are right. The earliest moving pictures were not photographs, so they were all animations of a sort – even the eariest phenakistoscope.
This though, is the earliest example of an animated film.
Because this is actually the first time that images were shown to move like they do in cel animation. Never before had drawings moved and reacted on their own. It was an advancement of stop motion, which generally uses live objects that are moved between frames. So instead of using physical objects, these chalk drawings were used instead.
enchanted drawing wasn’t quite the same, though it can be seen as the step in between the previous method and new cel animation. This one’s still the first.
???????????
aww traditional animation
Wow. The ones that move look like a flash animation. That’s pretty wicked.
the first ever was the enchanted drawing. i think, im confused because im doing a project and i am not sure why everyone is saying this was the first!
